In this simulation, you will learn the fascinating science of blood analysis by identifying and examining different types of blood cells. You'll get hands-on experience in Labster’s Blood Analysis Lab, creating blood smears, using a microscope for in-depth analysis, and even diagnosing blood cell disorders. One of the unique selling points of this simulation is the opportunity to make mistakes and learn from them in a risk-free and supportive environment.

Meet the blood components

This immersive experience is designed to transform you into a pro at blood analysis, with a comprehensive understanding of the key characteristics and vital roles of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Your Mission: Blood Analysis

Today in the lab we’ll meet Vlad, who wants to be a blood donor but needs your help. We also have blood samples from several other patients that need your expert skills to analyze. To do this, you'll learn to prepare blood smears—a foundational technique in hematology. Then, you'll use a microscope to analyze the blood smears we created in the lab applying your knowledge of blood components’ size, shape, and staining characteristics.

Diagnose and report

To complete your mission, you'll confirm Vlad’s eligibility as a blood donor and diagnose disorders like leukemia, sickle cell anemia, and malaria. Your findings will be reported back to the patients and doctors, contributing to patient care.

Are you ready to become a blood cell detective? What diagnoses will you suggest based on your observations? The answers to these questions lie in your hands as you navigate this engaging Labster simulation.
